Provide Service Availability and Business Continuity

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks present an especially damaging type of network security threat to the IP data connections between businesses and their service providers because DDoS attacks can overwhelm the bandwidth of the connection and disrupt all IP-based services. Today’s network carries voice, video and mission critical data which increases the urgency to protect the data pipes.

The Cisco DDoS Protection Solution helps you take a proactive approach to protecting your own networks and your customers’ data from these harmful attacks.

Managed DDoS Protection

Enhance your offerings by providing managed DDoS protection services using Cisco DDoS mitigation products. This service would consist of:

• Identifying and detecting traffic anomalies
• Redirecting all traffic to the target under attack to cleaning centers
• Mitigating the attack packets by discarding the anomalies
• Injecting the clean traffic back into the customer network

These processes occur in real time and support network availability and business continuity. Cisco Guard and Detector are the industry leading products the enable this capability.

Benefits of Integrated Security

Further strengthen your network protection by taking full advantage of important network security features built in to Cisco edge routers and switches based upon Cisco’s Network Foundation Protection architecture and best practices. The solution also takes advantage of network infrastructure assets, such as Cisco IOS NetFlow features, that are designed into the fabric of Cisco equipment.

DDoS Protection Models
